Extortion is illegal. They need to be broken up and dissolved.

I'd be making $4 an hour with no benefits were it not for being in a union
They still have their place

For a full-time caregiver? Don't think so. It's a PITA.

They have their uses and their liabilities, it depends widely on how well they're being run.

With the Fair Labor Standards Act, unions are no longer needed.

It should be the other way around.

who doesn't like them, they taste great, red unions on a burger brings out the flavor and adds crunch

Where do you work, in China? Because in the United States minimum wage is higher than that. Jobs that are in even a slight demand command much higher than minimum wage. All the unions do is talk up how essential they are and clip your paycheck to pay the union bosses.

I support the free association of people.

If an employer is paying crap wage/does not care about individual people... the people should be able to unite to increase their bargaining power and demand better conditions or refuse to work.

If the union goes overboard and starts demanding more than the employees are worth than the employer should be free to use their bargaining power by hiring people who will work for less.


I am not sure why anyone would want to make the free association of people illegal... that violates the U.S. constitution.
